Inmates are being courted by an Orange County jail that is offering flat-screen TVs, brand new beds and other luxury items not often found behind bars.

The Seal Beach Detention Center, which was shut down in 2007 due to its poor financial health only to reopen a year later, is charging inmates between $100 to $120 per day to indulge in their pay-to-stay program.

For a daily price, inmates can enjoy brand new beds, flat-screen TVs and media centers, according to an ad placed by the deparment in LA Weekly (pictured below).

The pay-to-stay program is expected to rake in $400,000 for the jail, according to the 2013-14 Seal Beach Adopted Budget. The jail gets $720,000 from the city to operate.

The program was created to offset the expenses of street arrests, according to a spokesperson for the Seal Beach Police Department.
